What's everyone saying?

I would like to know if l can substitution can chicken instead? Neither l or my husband care for tuna. Dietitian comment: Only if you can find low-sodium canned chicken. Or you could prepare a fresh chicken breast and shred for the recipe.

This recipe looks like it has too much Potassium and salt for the kidneys? Am I not understanding the amounts ect. My kidneys are functioning at 27%. Dietitian comment: The levels are acceptable for an entrée. You could exchange the bagel for a lower sodium bread or wrap to reduce the sodium.

If I am limited to 20 grams of protein per day, what can I eat for the rest of the day?! Dietitian comment: 20 grams protein a day is very little. Please be sure you are working with a dietitian as a very low protein diet can cause protein malnutrition if not monitored and if insufficient in the essential amino acids.

I really dislike mayo of any kid. I used regular Miracle Whip (yes, I know it comes in low fat, but with low fat products you often get more sugar and other unwanted ingredients.) I love bagels, so I knew I would love this. I added a thin slice of tomato. Great!

I'm going to make this without bagels, do not like bagels & have no low-fat mayo. because the store brand bought is less in sodium & that is what I have on hand. I love onions, celery & could not find low-sodium tuna, but it is water packed & will drain it & rinse it also. My question is: I thought you were supposed to add hard boiled eggs too, is that possible, to have more protein? Dietitian comment: Yes you can add either egg whites or the whole hard-boiled egg to increase protein. Each egg contains 7 grams of protein.

I made tuna salad with cut up apples. I just added mayo and apples. It was very good. I omitted celery, onions, bagels. Can't stand bagels. Also I put the tuna salad on wheat bread. Yup, that is a keeper. My mom liked the taste.

I'm always cutting corners where I can on potassium and sodium. We found "Western Bagel" brand bagels at Wal-Mart in the dairy section that are actually portion controlled and healthier than all others I've searched for. That mixed with "Bumble Bee" very low sodium white Albacore tuna (in water) and this was a perfect lunch!
